  • What exactly were you hoping to gain from this thread? Have you received what you aimed for? This thread turned into a group of strangers trying to convince you that your view of yourself is schewed. It wouldn't be unreasonable if this were true, considering it's very rare for one to view themselves accurately. Hell, I…
  • This has been a significant source of trouble for me and even though I would like to say that this will go away, I think it is something I will always have to keep an eye on. Yes, food is often used as a way to comfort oneself in times of stress and of course, there are other ways to cope with stress other than eating.…

  • This year we're having Thanksgiving at my house. This will be me and my fiance's first Thanksgiving together. I'm very excited. I would love to cook something new but I'm not sure what yet. I really love some honey-baked ham, oven-roasted sweet potatoes, beets, and my grandma's stuffing. We don't actually stuff anything…

  • I understand what you're dealing with. My fiance doesn't make me eat anything I don't want to eat, but he does eat much more than me and sometimes I feel pressured to join him. Also, sometimes he'll eat some choices I see as not as healthy, and when I make a healthier choice there are times I wish I could eat the way he…
  • @MadisonMolly2017 Thank you so much for your reply. This type of approach is surprisingly difficult for me. I am not very successful with metacognition. In that case, maybe this experience can help me learn how to recognize these aspects of my inner world more readily. I will review and consider. Thank you again. I decided…

  • I was thinking the same actually that maybe I could go back to measurements. I used to track my measurements as often as I would check my weight. Which is something I'm a bit worried about too because I used track my waist measurements obsessively. If I was above 25", I would feel bad for the rest of the day, which is…

  • Thank you. <3 I'm finding my way back and hopefully will become even more involved with time.
  • Thank you to you both for your comments. It's very hard for me to find my "happy" place as you know, happiness being relative to a variety of circumstances/situations. With that being said, maybe staying in this place for a little while can help me figure out exactly what happy is.
